POETIC INTERPRETATION OF AMIR TEMUR AND ISKANDAR IMAGES IN ALISHER NAVOI'S WORKS

This article examines the poetic interpretation of the images of Amir Temur and Iskandar (Alexander the Great) in the works of Alisher Navoi, as well as the concept of the ideal ruler formed on their basis. The study analyzes the traditions of conquest epics, particularly Navoi’s Saddi Iskandariy, and explores the poetic and ideological functions of the Sahibqiran (Amir Temur) figure in his works. The findings demonstrate that the image of Iskandar functions as a literary ideal, while the figure of Amir Temur represents the historical embodiment of this ideal.
